Final project from an Introduction to Computer Animation class taught at Brown University in Fall 2016. Over the course of about a month, I worked in a group of three students to come up with the concept, storyboards, and shot composition for the piece. We used Autodesk Maya to model, light, and shade/texture each element and scene in the animation.

The animation tells the story of a quiet awakening in a thawing tundra. We wanted to convey an organic sense of life and motion despite the abstract automaton 'character' being made out of scraps of metal and wood.
